Multitasking enjoyement and timegating content aka Beyond Light Review

So I got gifted with Beyond Light early and while I have had loads of fun there are a lot of things I'm both grateful for waiting and things I liked to see. So having waited this long means all content is available, and boy would I have been pissed to do all of this busywork one by one. I can easily multitask 4 to 5 different quests at a time currently that were not available when the DLC launched. I can do Lament while chasing my aspects, getting the Drifter's ice thrower done and being able to continue Varik's post storyline. This feel really good. But there's the people who bought in day one. Who had to do all this busywork with such a dribble it must have felt painful to do, I can currently go from story mission to story mission and multitask chorse which is the way Destiny should feel like. Not "Do this and get a taste of story, then do this to get a taste of story" Also I am greatly enjoying the amount of enemies and rhe amount of yellow bar enemies in missions, even when I was overlight some encounters kept me awake at night since the yellow bars are actually enemies compared to red bars. But I do understand why the campaign was made to include the power grind with it, it's a bit weird facing a huge ass Brig at current light and being able to demolish the boss in less than 10 seconds, but here a "hard mode" like a Contest Modifier for even story content would've been great to have. Also the post game Variks side stuff with Here-Always Pieces (Fight me) is great, the rewards feel good and reminds me of WoW in a good way which Bungie knowingly is trying to replicate. I have a slight problem with the WoW direction since let's face it, modern WoW is not good and I would love to see a more unique handling of Destiny, but this is good stuff. Overall I like the DLC, it's totally not worth 40€ and it feels better to play after all content has been implemented, so wait for the chirstmas sale everybody. And with the timelocked content there's no point, I would play the exact same time of having fun even if all content is here now or not, the only thing timegating adds to Destiny is more emphasis on the boring stuff like "Kill X with Y" quests which should be streamlined to be multitasked along the story.
